.

The necessary and sufficient condition for the line  TO  REPRESENT  a  (30°,60°,90°)  triangle is  THIS:

    1)  The  longest side is twice the shortest side,

and


   2)  The square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of two other sides.

So,  for each optional line check these two conditions.


Where you find these conditions  1)  and  2)  DISSATISFIED  (or at least  ONE  dissatisfied),
that line  DOES  NOT  represent  (30°,60°,90°)  triangle.
